0000-Yamaguchi Dam (Yamaguchi River Regulating Pond)

Yamaguchi Dam (Yamaguchi River Regulating Pond) is located in Seto City, Aichi Prefecture, and has lost its function as a flood control and water utilization dam. Currently, it functions as an erosion control dam. You have to go through the bushes to reach the embankment, but you will be deeply moved when you get there. The moss-covered, rough embankment. The rusty parapet. The white water flowing in contrast with the frozen time is also beautiful. / Gravity concrete dam / 17.1m

1683-Momodani Dam

The Momoya Dam is a gravity concrete dam owned by Tottori Prefecture for flood control and unspecified water use. It is also the first dam in Japan to have a free overflow crest, and its large flood discharge protruding from the lake side is very impressive. Normally, this dam does not store much water, but in the event of a flood, this shape seems to have been adopted in order to efficiently channel the water. / Gravity concrete dam / 18m

0000-ashizu dam

Ashizu Dam, located on the way to Mitaki Dam, a buttress dam, is a 12.7m high weir that dams up the reverse control basin of the Ashizu Power Plant of Chugoku Electric Power Co. We encountered three hydroelectric power plants on the way to this dam. The abundance of water in the river here must have made it attractive for use in hydroelectric power generation. / Gravity concrete dam / 12.7m

The Yasu River Dam is a gravity-type concrete dam for irrigation only and has an old history. 50 years have passed and the dam has become decrepit, so it will undergo overall renovation, which will be completed in 2010. I like the old smoked silver dam, but a fully renovated modern concrete dam is not bad either. / Gravity concrete dam / 54.4m

Sugita Dam is a dedicated power generation dam owned by Kochi Prefecture, and apparently also serves to reverse the peak load flow of the Nagase and Yoshino power plants located upstream. The maximum authorized output is 11,500 kW, which is the amount of electricity used by about 15,000 average households in a year. There were also some events that made me feel the good-naturedness of Shikoku. / Gravity Concrete Dam / 44m

For me, this place could be a sacred place. The Hayamoura Dam was the object of my highest longing. It reminded me of the time when I first became a dam maniac and had my heart set on the Kurobe Dam (Toyama). However, unlike those days, I have seen many dams, but this is the legendary Hayamyoura Dam. I can't help but be reminded of it. / Gravity concrete dam / 106m
